Question

I’m planning on reorganizing the files in my project. I’m wondering if it is safe to do so from an external file manager, and if it is, where do I put .import and .uid files, and is it safe to rename files?

I recommend you do it in the editor. You’ll have a lot fewer issues.

If you want to do it externally, then backup your project before you start. .import and .uid files need to stay with the files they reference.

If you rename files outside the editor, you will have to relink them in the editor, depending on what type of file they are and how they used them.

I’m gonna go back to do it in the editor.
